70 Chapter 6 Installing or Replacing Server Components

You can also arrange for an Apple-authorized service provider to install or replace

components in the server. For details about this service, see the support information

that came with your server. Additional support information is available at the Apple

Support website: www.apple.com/support.

Installing or Replacing an Apple Drive Module

The drive modules in the server are hot-pluggable; that is, you can remove one and

replace it with another drive while the server is operating. A status light on each drive

indicates when it’s safe to remove a drive without losing any information.

Follow these steps to install or replace a drive module.

1 If necessary, use the enclosure key to unlock the security lock on the server’s front

panel.

2 Remove the blank drive module or the drive currently installed.

• If there is no drive installed, press the handle on the front of the blank drive module

so that the handle pops out, then pull the blank drive module out of the front panel.

• If there is a drive module already in the bay:

a Make sure the drive currently in the bay is not being used by any application and

that the drive is not being shared by the server. (See the Mac OS X Server

documentation for information about shared drives.)

b Unmount the drive by using the server’s command-line tools or by dragging the

drive’s icon to the Trash (if the server has a monitor and keyboard connected).

Remove the blank

drive module from the bay.
